Chapter 31: The Time of the Clock
Looking at the sculpture in front of me that has been transformed from a demon into an angel, the crystal tears of angels are embedded in the grooves under the angel's eyes.
Coming to the next room, Ling Yu looked at the scenery of this room, the lights were still dim, no different from the previous two rooms, and the walls were also stone, but in addition to the above two points, this room looked more like a study than the previous two rooms.
In the center of the house, there is a desk with a dim lamp on, a pile of books, a vase, a chair next to the desk, and then the whole room is a variety of bookshelves with various books on them.
Looking at the stone wall again, this time there are no murals on the stone wall, and there are no sculptures. There was only one clock, but it had no hour or minute hands. And what made Ling Yu feel most panicked was that there was only one door in this room, that is, the door that he had just walked in from the second room, and there was no other door.
Could it be that this is the last room? But even so, he solved the mystery of this room, but he still couldn't get out of Qingling Ancient City without going out of the door, and finally waited for the time bomb hidden by the crow to explode.
She raised her arm and looked at the time, she had wasted too much time in the previous room, and now there were forty minutes left before the end of this game, and she didn't know if she would be able to get out of this room smoothly, and she didn't know how many more such rooms would be after this room.
Ling Yu walked forward and came to the front of the bookshelf, and she found that there were various works of famous artists on the shelves, both domestic and foreign, and these works were very messy. These books are not classified according to the author, the works of several writers are mixed together, but there is a different row, and all the works of Leo Tolstoy are placed on it, including "The Morning of a Landlord", "Childhood, Youth, Youth" and so on.
It makes one wonder why the works elsewhere on the shelves are mixed up with multiple writers, except for this row where all the works are by Leo Tolstoy.
She knew that Long Fei liked to read Tolstoy's works before his death, and it was not because the crow deliberately took advantage of this to confuse herself.
Before the bookshelves could be figured out, Ling Yu left the bookshelf and went to the position of the desk, on which in addition to the lamp, the most conspicuous thing was the vase, which made people want to get closer.
Curious, she touched the vase with her hand, and when the vase began to shake, Ling Yu faintly heard that something inside seemed to be hitting the wall of the vase with the shaking of the vase. Ling Yu took out her mobile phone, turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone to illuminate it, and she saw that it turned out to be a pointer inside.
She hurriedly picked up the vase and poured out the pointer inside, holding the pointer in her hand, and surmised that the hand should be the object on the needleless clock she had just seen, and judging by the length, it should be the hour hand.
In this case, there must be a minute hand in a corner of this room. And it's going to be installed on that clock. Thinking of this, Ling Yu began to search the room for the whereabouts of the minute hand. However, when Ling Yu opened all the drawers, he found that there were no hands and minutes inside. The time of more than ten minutes of rummaging through boxes and cabinets made her look a little tired at this time.
She sat down on her desk, taking advantage of the rest to think about what she should do, and the time on her watch told her that she had twenty-five minutes left.
At this moment, she turned her head and noticed the location of the lamp on her desk. Originally, I thought it was strange, obviously there was a light in this room from time to time, but why did I turn on this lamp that was not very bright, and whether it was turned on or not did not have much impact on the overall brightness of this room.
Then, Ling Yu looked at the place where the lamp light shone. There were a bunch of books and file bags.
She picked up the top book, and when she opened it, she unexpectedly found a note that read:
"After three years of darkness, when the poor are resurrected, the world will usher in the morning of war."
What does this phrase mean? Looking at the traces written with a pen on it, it should have just been written, and there is still the smell of ink left on it. It may have been written by the crow as a hint. Sometimes Ling Yu really doesn't understand what the crow thinks, obviously he gave himself a war letter, but he secretly left clues for himself. Probably trying to tell himself that it's up to him to make himself successful or to fail.
So what does he mean by the hint he gave this time, "After three years of darkness, when the poor are resurrected, the world will usher in the morning of war." "Three years of darkness, does the raven mean from the time he was killed by himself three years ago? I went through three years of darkness myself. When the Poor Are Resurrected? If it refers to rejuvenating himself and coming back again, according to this statement, the crow is a poor man, but judging from some of the previous scene arrangements or previous events, he does not look like a poor man at all. Finally, the world will have the morning of war. Is he trying to say that he wants to come back and get revenge on the world?
Unsure of the circumstances of this sentence, Ling Yu held the note in the palm of her hand and continued to flip through the remaining books and archives on the desk, but she did not find any useful clues in it. In this case, the only useful clues on the desk are the hour hand inside the vase and the note just found.
She looked at the note in her hand and wandered in front of the bookshelf, the books on which were too chaotic to be clearly classified, so it looked like it was laborious. But there is also a special one, which is the only row that is all Tolstoy's works.
Ling Yu returned to the position just now, looking at the books on it, I have to say that Long Fei has read these books before, and he has read a lot of them, such as: "A Landlord's Morning", "Childhood, Youth, Youth", "Poor", "Resurrection" and so on.
Wait a minute!
Ling Yu suddenly thought of something in his mind when he looked at these books, but he couldn't tell clearly, the names of these books seemed to be seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember them for a while. She looked at her hands, and by the way, the note she was holding in her hand seemed to be talking about these books. This explains why only this row is full of Tolstoy's work, and no one else's work.
She looked at the note in her hand: After three years of darkness, when the poor are resurrected, the world will usher in the morning of war.
If this sentence is broken down, "three years" refers to "childhood, youth, youth", "darkness" refers to "the forces of darkness", "poor", "resurrection" refers to "poor" and "resurrection" respectively, and "war" in the last sentence refers to "war and peace", and "morning" refers to "the morning of a landlord".
The six keywords in the whole sentence represent the six books on the shelves, and Ling Yu counted them, and there were exactly six books on the shelves in this row, and the names of the books corresponded to these six books.
Then what should be done now is to put them in order, from left to right: "Childhood, Youth, Youth", "The Forces of Darkness", "The Poor", "Resurrection", "War and Peace", "A Landlord's Morning".
Then, Ling Yu quickly took down all six books and placed them in the order of the reasoning just now.
When the last book, "A Landlord's Morning", was put on the table, Ling Yu saw that the entire bookshelf in front of him began to change in an instant, as if something was opening due north, and the bookshelf began to move to the right end, giving way to the position he had just occupied. When the bookshelf stopped moving, Ling Yu saw that behind the original bookshelf there was still a camera obscura, and a small box was placed inside.
Ling Yu took it out, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a photograph inside, and at the same time, there was a hand pressed under the photograph, which was the minute hand of the clock on the wall. She picked up the minute hand and looked at the photo.
The content of the photo is the scene of the car accident on the day of Long Fei's accident. In the photograph and its hidden place, Ling Yu found there, a teenager-like man standing there watching the scene of the car accident, and at his feet, Ling Yu actually found black feathers.
In this way, Long Fei's death was really not a simple traffic accident, it was the hands and feet of the "Black Feather" organization, and it should be revenge for Long Fei's previous attack on his own organization.
However, now his current task is to quickly find another exit from Qingling Ancient City, and now there are about fifteen minutes left before the end of this game, and he has just found the hour and minute hands of the clock, as long as he installs them on the clock, he should get the next hint.
However, what time should the clock be? If you guess the wrong time, you may not be able to explode immediately when the bomb is hidden. Calm down, be calm at this time.
She thought back to what had just happened, and when she found the clock hour and minute hands, the extra clue was the photo. Could it be that the time on the clock should be the time when Long Fei had an accident three years ago?
It's not impossible to think like this, after all, this is the only clue left in his hands at the moment. But three years have passed since the Long Fei accident, how can I remember what time it was in the past three years.
Ling Yu stood in front of the clock and looked at the clock in front of him, which had no minute and hour hands, and three glowing green dots on it. What is this used for?
Now there are ten minutes left, and I really have to block it once. She recalled in her mind that the time of Long Fei's accident should have been in the afternoon, maybe at three o'clock, she held the mentality of trying, and placed the hour and minute hands at three o'clock, but nothing happened, and then, the three green bright spots on the clock actually decreased by one, and there were still two left.
It seems that this highlight is telling yourself that there are three chances, and after a failure just now, I only have two chances left!
